Lintgen Real Estate: Apartments in the Alzette Valley

The village lies in the Alzette valley with road and rail links to the capital, and the surrounding communes make up a coherent housing market. Neighbouring options include Lorentzweiler, Mersch, Steinsel, Walferdange, Heisdorf and Keispelt. Cross-border workers and EU institution staff feature among buyers.

Purchase tax in Luxembourg totals 7%, made up of 6% registration duty and 1% transcription, with a tax credit for owner-occupiers known as the Bëllegen Akt; confirm its current amount with the notary. A notary must be used for the deed and there is no restriction on foreign buyers. Lenders are cautious with non-residents, so expect substantial equity requirements.

In Luxembourg many new apartments are sold en l'état futur d'achèvement (VEFA), meaning you pay in stages as the building rises and the developer remains liable for defects. The notarial deed sets the completion schedule and payment calendar, so read it carefully, together with the energy class and parking and cellar allocations. Resale flats in older communes can offer larger rooms but may need work. Whatever you choose, factor in running costs such as the syndic's charges and local heating, and ask the notary about any pre-emption rights.
